If you are running ext2, then start in sigle/recovery mood anf fsck -f the 
partition, most likely there is a booboo around the inode stuff you 
mentioned, if it is ext3 ... well idonno, but i guess the situation should be 
similar :-)
I just recently had something very similar, when wife booted linux 3 times in 
a row (cold) becouse a hardware conflict locked up the keyboard and the mouse 
:-)
